Eyesight problems and dementia
Having dementia is very hard to cope with at times, but adding other problems on makes life so much harder to cope with
Over the last few months i have had eyelid problems possibly linked to an infection, but it did not seem to go away for long. But i have now been given stringer antibiotic cream to use on it, in the hope that this can move on.
Then a few weeks ago i started seeing floaters in one eye, which is causing havoc, as i could not work out what was going on.
i had to give up reading because these things were bouncing around my eye causing a big distraction
These were things like large rings, sometimes spider webbed type things, and it is a nightmare to cope with. Sometimes these things look like large strangle shaped air bubbles or squares, occasionally spiders webs
After seeing our local eye speciialist, he said they were spectacular objects to look at under his machine, amazing thimgs inc, including harp like objects and web like objects, and large rings
Although they may be spectacular to him, they are a nightmare to me, as they only way out of it is to close one eye and try to stay out of bright lights.
Once or twice i have seen what looked like a spider in the corner of the eye, and after trying to remove it i realised that its all part of the floaters, as there is no real spider on my face
It all ads to a distressing situation, which i have to wait until it disappears on its own
